Little Gordon Pond Fishing in Somerset County, Maine

• Overview

  Maine holds Little Gordon Pond, in Somerset County. The bank gives way to rolling bush. Surface area runs to about 13 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Somerset County. Kingfield at 30 miles is the nearest place to stop. Greenville is 30 miles away, with Lac-Mégantic at 35 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Little Gordon Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Somerset County include Atlantic salmon, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Little Gordon Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 64°F on average, January about 10°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan around that when you fish Little Gordon Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Redmond Pond at 2.1 miles is the nearest alternative.
